“…We draw heavily on the literature (Fiorini et al, 2017; Marx & Wouters, 2014; Wieck & Rudloff, 2020) to define key coordination strategies that SS systems, government, and international organizations follow to cooperate (Figure 2).…”

“…We borrow the dissimilarity indices from the literature about regulatory heterogeneity across countries (Burnquist et al, 2011; Drogué & DeMaria, 2010; Li & Beghin, 2014; Rau et al, 2010; Vigani et al, 2012; Winchester et al, 2012) to measure the overlap and the competition across the SS. Furthermore, to assess cooperation in the standard market, we design a qualitative matrix that shows how SS schemes, governments and international organizations pursue different levels of cooperation strategies (Fiorini et al, 2017; Marx & Wouters, 2014; Wieck & Rudloff, 2020).…”

Multiplicity of sustainability standards and potential trade costs in the palm oil industry

The growing impact of the global production of agricultural commodities has created new regulations that aim at a more sustainable trade. Sustainability standards (SS) are essential tools for transnational trade governance because they increase the possibility of recognizing products from sustainable sources. However, there is currently a proliferation of SS in almost every industry. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to establish how standard interactions such as competition, cooperation, and overlap shape the impact of multiplicity on trade costs. We apply the framework to the palm oil industry by using the information on three aspects of SS schemes: the requirements, the institutional design, and the cooperation strategies. Our results indicate that the North–South multiplicity in the palm oil market is characterized by high overlap, but there exists a balanced co‐opetition in the standard market. As the cooperation strategies between the SS schemes are very shallow, there might be potential trade costs associated with the SS multiplicity in the palm oil industry.

“…Defined by Hooker (1999) as “rapprochement,” the regulatory cooperation between trading partners consists in actions (e.g., mutual recognition of standards, harmonization of standards) aimed at eliminating, reducing, and preventing regulatory differences between them. The rapprochement is supportive of a positive integration of countries at the regional level (i.e., in the context of RTAs) (Wieck & Rudloff, 2020). Through the regulatory cooperation, the RTAs may enhance trade between signatories but may also divert trade from non‐signatory countries (Grant, 2013).…”

Standards and regulatory cooperation in regional trade agreements: What the effects on trade?

The agenda of trade negotiation in the agri-food sector is characterised by an exponential increase of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs). Their joint effect on trade is puzzling and still an open empirical question. Once assessed the trade effect of standards provided in SPS measures, the study evaluates how regulatory cooperation and commitments beyond WTO requirements affect trade between signatories of RTAs. Trade between signatories seems obstructed by non discriminatory (multilateral) SPS measures. However, SPS-specific commitments negotiated in joint SPS committees within RTAs tend to create conditions to meet standards, contributing to boost trade.

“…Other examples include Non‐centrifuged dehydrated sugar cane juice , discontinued in 2019 after several years of discussion; MRLs for Bovine Somatotropin (BST) and Zilpateral which have been on the agenda since 1998 and 2012, respectively; and a ML for methylmercury in amberjack and swordfish discontinued in 2018 because of low levels of concentration and lack of consensus. Finally, there are other prominent examples of food safety issues that continue to plague governments and trade negotiators in high‐income markets such as the US and EU, despite the existence of Codex standards and guidance (Wieck and Rudloff, 2020). As Josling and Tangermann (2016) note: ‘… the issue of [EU] banning so‐called “chlorine chicken” is now one of the battle cries of those in the EU opposed to the TTIP’ (p. 3).…”
